+\section{Introduction}
+Welcome to the PigeonHole UGent Submission Platform User Manual. This manual provides instructions for users, teachers, and administrators on how to effectively use the platform, step by step. The platform is designed to streamline the process of submitting, reviewing, and providing feedback on projects. It seeks to create a middle ground between being easy to use but also providing the necessary features for automatic feedback on big projects. As for now, we only support UGent accounts to use the platform.
+
+\section{Getting Started}
+\subsection{Creating an Account}
+Users can only log in with their UGent account. If you do not have an account, please contact the administrator to create one for you.
+
+\subsection{Logging In}
+When accessing the platform, students will be prompted to log in with their UGent account. UGent uses OAuth2 for authentication, so you will be redirected to the UGent login page. After logging in, you will be redirected back to the platform.

+\section{Teacher Section}
+
+\subsection{Creating a Course}
+Teachers can create a new course by clicking the "Create a course" button on the homepage. They can set the course name, description, and privacy settings. After creating the course, they can invite students to join with the link provided.
+
+\begin{figure}[H]
+    \centering
+    \includegraphics[width=0.75\textwidth]{images/createcourse.png}
+    \caption{Create course page}
+\end{figure}
+
+\subsection{Creating a Project}
+Teachers can create a new project by clicking the "Create a project" button on the course page. They can set the project name, description, and deadline. After creating the project, students can submit their work.
+Teachers can also set the automatic feedback settings for the project. This ranges from directory structure to advanced test on students code. 
+Here, the teacher can also set the necessary group size and amount of groups for the project.
+
+\begin{figure}[H]
+    \centering
+    \includegraphics[width=0.75\textwidth]{images/createproject.png}
+    \caption{Create project page}
+\end{figure}
+
+The teacher can also set simple and advanced tests for the project. The simple tests are run on the file structure of the submission, while the advanced tests are run on the code itself. Even when tests fail, the submission will be saved and the teacher can still view the submission.
+
+\subsubsection{A quick quide to the simple tests}
+
+You can add required files in the \textit{required files} field on the add/edit project page.
+There are two options for adding files:
+
+\begin{enumerate}[label=\arabic*.]
+    \item \textbf{Add a specific file:} \texttt{/extra/report.pdf}\\
+    In this case, the file \texttt{report.pdf} is required in the directory \texttt{extra}.
+
+    \item \textbf{Add a file type:} \texttt{src/*.py}\\
+    In this case, the only file type al=<lowed in the \texttt{src} directory will be Python files.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+There are also several options on how to use these files:
+
+\begin{enumerate}[label=\arabic*.]
+    \item \textbf{Required files}\\
+    Using a checkmark, the files will be required and submissions without these files will be considered invalid.
+
+    \item \textbf{Forbidden files}\\
+    Using a crossmark, the files will be forbidden and submissions with these files will be considered invalid.
+
+    \item \textbf{Maybe files}\\
+    Using a question mark (?), the files will not be checked, and their presence will not affect the validity of the submission.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\subsubsection{A quick quide to the advanced tests}
+
+For programming projects hosted on our platform that need to verify that the code compiles/runs/gives the correct output, we offer an advanced interface to run code on each submission the moment they're submitted using docker images.
+
+The process of setting up the advanced tests is as follows:
+\begin{enumerate}[label=\textbf{\arabic*.}]
+    \item \textbf{Write your tests and package them in a Docker image}
+    \begin{itemize}
+        \item We offer an example Docker image in \texttt{examples/advanced-evaluation}.
+        \item Place the submission files in a volume under \texttt{/usr/src/submission}, output artifacts under \texttt{/usr/out/artifacts}, and determine correctness with the exit code (0 for success, other values for failure).
+    \end{itemize}
+
+    \item \textbf{Push your image to our private Docker registry}
+    \begin{itemize}
+        \item Use the command: \texttt{docker push sel2-1.ugent.be:2002/[YOUR\_IMAGE\_NAME]}
+    \end{itemize}
+
+    \item \textbf{Configure your project on the site}
+    \begin{itemize}
+        \item When creating or editing your project, fill in the Evaluation Docker image name in the text field and save.
+    \end{itemize}
+\end{enumerate}
+
+You will be able to see the results and artifacts in the submission's page.
